As for Edgar, he has been waiting in the wings for the better part of the past two years, waiting for his shot at the featherweight belt, which currently resides on McGregor’s mantle. Since failing to wrest the belt from then-champion Jose Aldo in early 2013, Edgar’s five-fight winning streak includes some of the biggest names mixed martial arts has ever known, including BJ Penn, Urijah Faber, and Chad Mendes. Most pundits, fans, and fighters have believed that Edgar has deserved a shot at the belt for quite some time, but despite a couple near misses, Edgar has yet to get a title fight. He recently took aim at McGregor, trying to force his hand to put the featherweight belt on the line.
